The Pillars of Hercules: A Grand Tour of the Mediterranean

Author: Paul Theroux
Stars: 5
Review by: Little Red Hen

Hercules, strong as he was  probably wouldn't have consulted Rick Steves before he cast two rocks creating the Pillars of Hercules. Neither did Paul Theroux who traveled from one pillar began at Gibralter the long way around the Mediterranean. This account gave me insights into the conditions of countries and places so much in our news such as Aleppo.I like learning about writers who lived and worked in Theroux's Mediterranean.
